It seems the lead singer of Third Eye Blind, Stephen Jenkins has not just been touring around the world but also to hospitals. The front man took time to head over to a Austin, Texas hospital while the band is hanging around Austin for a few weeks. For those who couldn't make it to the Austin City Limits Festival were treated to an in person performance from the singer himself.
One of those was Third Eye Blind fan Austin Erickson. He said having Jenkins come perform for him was a great way to help break up his monotonous days in the hospital. "When you're in a hospital, you kind of get this fishbowl effect, especially 'cause they won't let you out of your wing or anything, so you just kind of end up milling around," said Erickson. "So it's always nice to have something really fun to be able to look back on and help break up the way days just kind of blend together."
Jenkins' visit was sponsored in part by an organization called Musicians On Call. Since the organization began in 1999, volunteer artists have performed for more than 750,000 patents, families and caregivers at healthcare facilities across the country. That's pretty cool!
